After 6 years of being together I finally made my wife a sentimental gift. I made a combo image of our dog Bethany, deceased dog Sprite and Connie as a Squidz carrying a raccoon flag. I printed it on T-shirt transfer paper and ironed it on a plain dark blue shirt. I have a proper version on order through customink .

This is a piece I was/am working along side with many of my friends who banded together to create awesome art for Gamers for Good. I just need to wrap it up with a color and AO pass. Thanks to Peet and Liz for making this amazing non-profit happen!

This was a drawing I did for Jussi who I met while I was at the hospital in Coswig, Germany (first trip in July 2012). He's a huge fan of Starcraft 2 who frequented the Master League during that time..very impressive. The Team 1 folks later sent him a big box of goodies, which he appreciated.

It's been a long time and I'm not dead yet! In an effort to keep this blog chronological I have posted images of many of the Diablo 3 Environments that I worked on before 2012. Many of the areas were done in collaboration with other artists on the team but I was the owner of zones such as the Festering Wood and the Fields of Slaughter/Edge of the Abyss.

My focus was level/zone art (building components/assets and putting them together using Maya and our editor) but I also worked on some layout, lighting, textures, icons, skyboxes and assisted with a few of the scripted sequences for the game.

Personal Environment Art Keystones:

Depth - by using fog to create value separation to split the environment into clear planes
